Session Description

Learn about an innovative 10 state collaboration funded by the US Dept. of Ed. to build state-wide online teacher professional development programs aligned to specific needs and goals in each state (AL, DE, KY, MD, MS, MO, NH, NC, PA and WV). Educators learned to facilitate and design online courses for teachers, which were delivered to teachers in each state, and shared across states. Experimental research showed significant impact of online courses on content, pedagogy and student learning.
